and Viruses.
Purification
Process of the Model 1600:
Ordinary water is heated to 212 °F (100°C) killing bacteria, cysts
and viruses that may be present. Steam rises leaving behind dissolved
solids, salts, heavy metals and other substances. Low boiling
light gases are discharged through the gaseous vent.
Steam is condensed in the stainless steel condenser assembly.
The purified drinking water is collected in the 3 litre (3.2qts) collection / storage container (included with order).
Maximum Purity & Versatility:
The WaterWise 1600 Purifier consistently and effectively produces
pure, steam distilled water for you and your family. Designed for
day to day use on your electric or gas stovetop or alternative energy
sources such as wood stove, gas grill or propane burner.
The
oldest water purification method known to man,
the steam distillation process simply replicates the Hydrologic Cycle
Reasonably easy to set up and can be used almost anywhere, e.g. open fire, hot plate, gas or electric range
Can distil any water into a safe drinking water
Summary: Very good in situations where there is no electricity or in an emergency / survival situation
Cons
The WaterWise 1600 does not have an 'automatic shut off' facility, which means that the water distiller must be monitored every hour, at which time the distiller must be turned off or refilled for another cycle.. (The WaterWise 1600 produces 3 litres per cycle, which happens to be 3 litres per hour)
Over 50% of all customers have returned the distiller for a refund, as they were really annoyed that the manually operated machine must be operated manually
There is no post charcoal filter, so people with sensitive taste buds will notice a metallic taste
Note: When used for the first time, it is important to complete approximately
three cycles to remove any 'taste' from manufacturing
Note: Does not include post carbon filtration. [A simple and cost effective method of making a post carbon filter is to fit a Charcoal Filter Bag in a funnel, and allow the water to run through it. The post filter is for taste only.]

My blood work in March showed me with subclinical hypothyroidism even though I exercise regularly and eat quite a healthy diet with various supplements. However I was also consuming large amounts of tap water and at that time although I knew of the impurities, I did not realise the effect that chlorine and fluoride have on the thyroid gland. Needless to say after around 6 weeks of using only the water from the Divine for drinking and cooking, my latest bloods show my thyroid function to be normal.
2010, February. Viki Zangari, Salisbury, Adelaide, SA, Australia. "Hi WATER DISTILLERS AUSTRALIA,
Once I gave the unit [Waterwise 1600] a clean, we learned that, the rust was actually the appearance of rust and not rust itself.
Wow is all I can say, our drinking water, the water I have been consuming for 51 years has done that to my brand new distiller after one good session, I think I better keep on keeping on with distilled water.
Thank you soooooooo very much for your support and all the best for the new year.

Scale / Mineral / Chemical Residue Removed From Drinking Water After Just 6 Weeks! - top
Front View
Top View
The above
photos show the scale / mineral / chemical residue removed from the base
of the boiling chamber of one of our Water Distillers, after
just 6 weeks water distillation for a family of three. (All of our pure water distillers will produce the same results.)
This particular residue is from one of the purest sources of council supplied,
non fluoridated drinking water in the South Island of New Zealand. Different
locales produce various amounts, types and colours of scale residue, depending upon what minerals / pollutants are in the water, e.g. sewerage & industrial waste; as well as what poisons and chemicals e.g. fluoride, chlorine etc, that your local government adds to your the supply.
Because of water distillation, the owner's kidneys, arteries etc are now free of such scale / mineral / chemical residue.
Water suppliers find it "uneconomical" to supply the public with pure water, as up to 98% of the water supply will be used by the population to: flush toilets - mop floors - wash vehicles & clothes - industry etc. Although some councils and water suppliers claim that their water is suitable and safe for human consumption, they emphatically refuse to accept liability by supplying an Affidavit or Statutory Declaration to that effect, for fear of perjuring / implicating themselves!
Mass medicating the public by adding extremely poisonous toxic industrial waste to the water supply such as Fluoride(a corrosive Class 8 Dangerous Goods / HazChem 2 poison), is unethical, illegal and a serious crime against humanity.
Throughout 2000 to 2007, many builders in Kingaroy, Queensland found that the town drinking water was even unsuitable for making cement! During this period the Kingaroy Shire Council claimed that the town water was suitable for human consumption, while local farmer's calves would quickly die after drinking the town water supply! Go figure...
It is certainly wise (and cheaper) to make your own fluoride and chlorine free pure water at home.
"If tap water was truthfully labeled - most people would refuse to drink it."
The Importance Of Drinking Pure Distilled Water - top
"Since
we started using distilled water, our athletes have
been drinking more. We can only attribute that to the
fresh, clean taste " Dave Ellis, Director of Performance Nutrition at the
University of Nebraska Athletic Department.
"Even
tap water invariably contains a variety of poisons such
as chlorine, chloramine, asbestos, pesticides, fluoride,
copper, mercury, and lead. The best way to remove all
these contaminants is by distilling." How
To Save Your Teeth: Toxic-Free Preventive Dentistry,
Dr. David Kennedy, D.D.S.
The Benefits Of Drinking Pure Distilled Water - top
This is why people of all ages (as well as pets and plants), respond
positively to pure distilled water. Animals will always choose distilled water when given a choice!
(Note: Certain champion race horses are always given pure distilled water to drink
- a secret practiced by a few very successful and famous owners.)
A
water distiller heats tap water to 100 degrees centigrade, causing the water
to change to steam, leaving behind harmful: volatile organic compounds (VOCs) - inorganic minerals - chemicals - diseases - viruses and contaminants.
Click here to see the harmful contaminants that are removed from your drinking
water via Water Distillation.
The
steam vapour is condensed into pure distilled water leaving the remaining
sediment in the bottom of the stainless steel chamber. The purified water
then passes through an ingeniously positioned carbon filter, which further
purifies the water. No other purification system can match the quality
of distilled water with post carbon filtration. Most distillers produce
ultra pure water with 99.9%+ purity.
What is distillation?
Distillation is simply the process of heating water to its boiling point; capturing
and then condensing the pure steam to form pure distilled water. In nature this
process is known as the hydrologic cycle.
Consumable needs:
Pure distilled water should be used for all of your consumable needs, or anything
that goes into your body. Whether you consume ice cubes, soup, coffee, tea,
pasta, rice, baby formula, juices, or just drinking water, the contaminants
that are in your tap water are still finding their way into your body
unless you are using pure distilled water.
How nature purifies water:
Water is essential to all life. Without it the biosphere that exists on the
surface of the earth wouldn't be possible. Nicknamed the "water" planet, earth is covered by one of our most precious resources. However 97%
is locked in the oceans, toxic to humans and many plants and animals. How do
we obtain fresh water resources then?
Hydrologic Cycle:
To understand, we need to turn to the Hydrologic Cycle. The Hydrologic Cycle (also called the water cycle) is the process that moves water around
the earth. The cycle starts with the sun heating water in our rivers, lakes
and oceans and turning it into water vapour, which rises into the air (called
evaporation). When water vapour cools it forms clouds (condensation), which become heavy with water and rains back to earth (precipitation).
Water is not created or destroyed:
It is this process that cleans the earths water. Water is not created
or destroyed. Simply put, it is continually changing its form and location.
The water you drink today is likely to have been lapped up by animals and people
6 thousand years ago, or helped fill Julius Caesars bathing pool, or could
be from a tear from Jesus Christ (Aramaic = Eshoo). The water we use now is
the same supply the human race started with. Its quality is renewed again and
again by the natural Hydrologic Cycle that our Creator originally set in place.
Distilled water from the clouds
How
water distillers purify water:
Water Distillers are performing not only as one of the most effective forms
of treatment, but they're one of the easiest to understand:
untreated water is converted into water vapour
which is then condensed back into liquid form
Most of the contaminants are left behind in the boiling chamber, with the condensed
water being virtually contaminant-free.
Anyone who has accidentally let a pot of water boil completely out on the stove is
familiar with this process, and familiar with the crust of contaminants typically
left behind after the water is gone.
In
nature, this basic process is responsible for the hydrologic cycle. The sun
causes water to evaporate from surface sources such as lakes, oceans, and streams.
The water vapour eventually comes in contact with cooler air, where it re-condenses
to form dew or rain. This process can be imitated artificially(e.g.
water distillation), and more rapidly than in nature, using alternative
sources of heating and cooling.
What about the minerals that are removed via distillation?
As water distillation removes most minerals / elements from the water, it becomes just like pure rain water (rain water is distilled water). Some people are concerned that if they drink distilled water (or pure rain water), they will suffer from a mineral deficiency. If a person drank nothing but distilled water only and ate no food for the rest of his / her life, he / she would certainly become mineral deficient in a very short time!
However the reality is that people who regularly drink pure distilled water and eat a healthy diet, are predominantly showing the following results:
stronger teeth with less cavities - or or none at all
stronger bones with a higher bone density
thicker hair
healthier skin
greatly reduced sickness
etc
Please take note that the greatest amount of our minerals / elements that we require actually comes from the air that we breathe. To illustrate this point, imagine if a person stopped breathing for say 10 minutes. How long would that person survive without access to the minerals / elements in the air?
The next greatest source of minerals is from the physical food humans consume. Unlike air, humans can actually survive for several weeks without eating physical food. Please note that for every 1 litre of physical food that humans consume, humans require approximately 10,000 litres of air. Sports people and extremely hard working people can consume up to 30,000 litres of air for every 1 litre of food eaten.
Humans are mostly composed of water, i.e. approximately 75-85%. Every metabolic function that takes place within the human body is in a water medium. Water is essential for hydrating the body and especially the cells; and if pure enough, water is excellent for keeping the cells clean by removing toxins and cell debris.
In summary, the greatest percentage of minerals / nutrients are obtained in the following order of priority:
the air that we breath (10,000 to 30,000 litres per 1 litre of physical food),
physical food such as a well balanced diet of vegetables, fruit, grains, nuts, meats (chicken, beef, goat...) etc.
Some people who eat a healthy balanced diet also take vitamin and mineral supplements, as well as consume regular amounts of pure water for hydrating the body and cleaning the cells.
Volatile / Gaseous Vent: All good water distillers have a 'Volatile / Gaseous Vent' incorporated into the beginning of the stainless steel condensing coil, to prevent Volatile Gases contaminating the pure distilled water, by releasing any Volatile Gasses (if present in source water) into the atmosphere.
If there are Volatile Gasses present in the source water, then these Volatile Gasses are also being released into the air every time a consumer:
and is consumed every time the consumer drinks it.
If the source water is heavily contaminated with council poisons and subsequent Volatile Gasses, it is advisable to vent any room that has running water and especially heated water such as cooking / showering etc, as well as the distillation area.
Top View of Divine 48L Water Distiller Volatile / Gaseous Vent
Distillation units require only minimal maintenance, which usually involves draining
off the concentrated sediment and other contaminants that accumulate at the
bottom of the boiling chamber. It is not necessary to keep the bottom (inside) of water distillers spotless (especially with semi-automatic type water distillers that have an internal element in the base), as there will always be a sediment film on the bottom after each and every use.
The most important thing is to clean away the bulk poisonous / chemical residue, which if allowed to build up, makes distillation more inefficient.
The walls of the chamber may also need to be
cleaned of hard-water scale and other sediment that can accumulate. The required
amount of cleaning depends greatly upon the initial quality of water used. Very
hard water can produce heavy scaling in a relatively short period of time. If
soft water is used, cleaning difficulties should be minimal. (For your convenience we supply
a wonderful product called Steel Kleen for this very purpose. Steel Kleen can be ordered via the Divine Water Distiller page.)
The carbon / charcoal filters must be changed periodically as well. The best time to change is when you notice a 'taste' in the pure water. These are very inexpensive to replace.(Charcoal can be ordered via the Divine Water Distiller page.)
What Is The difference Between Automatic & Semi Automatic Water Distillers? - top
Now you are able to produce your own pure drinking water, at a fraction of the cost of bottled water [power consumption approx' 6¢ - 12¢ per litre]. Compared to the cost of buying water, this distiller will pay for itself in just 3 or so months! It makes sense to make your own pure water!

Distilled Water (by 'The Mango Man' - Dr. Wayne Pickering)
Let's dispel the myth about the proper kind of water to drink. My first comment is that we can't get clean water out of a dirty pipe. And when I interviewed all those Olympic athletes a few years back about what they do to maintain their health & energy on a busy travel, one of the 3 things they all had in common was and I say this verbatim, "Wayne, we never drink the crap from the tap!" That statement has changed a lot of people's thinking about better water to drink!
In his book, "The Choice is Clear", by Dr. Allen E. Banik, he describes Distilled Water as "the only water that is pure – the only water free from all impurities."
Distilled Water acts as a solvent in the body. It dissolves food substances so they can be assimilated and taken into every cell. It dissolves inorganic mineral substance, acid crystals and all other waste products so that these can be eliminated in the process of purifying the body.
As Distilled Water enters the body, it picks up mineral deposits accumulated in the joints, artery walls or wherever such deposits occur, and begin to carry then out. Gallstones & Kidney Stones decrease until they can safely pass through their ducts. Arthritic pains lessen, as joints become more supple & movable!
Distilled Water has the inherent characteristics of a magnet which picks discarded minerals and with the assistance of the blood and the lymph, transports then to the kidneys for elimination. It is this kind of mineral elimination that is erroneously referred to as leaching. The expression that Distilled Water leaches minerals form the body is inaccurate, It does not leach out body minerals. It collects and removes inorganic mineral which have been rejected by the cells and tissues and which if not evacuated can cause serious damage.
Odorless, colorless and tasteless, Distilled Water contains no solid mater of any kind, no minerals, organic or inorganic and is made solely of the two gases, hydrogen and oxygen. It can be used as a drinking water, for cooking, for electric irons, and batteries, and is so pure that it is used for intravenous feeding, inhalation therapy, prescriptions and baby formulas. Enjoy a guaranteed clean glass of distilled water the next time you need something to drink and relax. We are all on the Road to Death; there's just no need to jump in the Passing Lane! You're special and deserve the best, consume good stuff so you'll always be tough!...
This is Wayne Pickering encouraging you ...

To develop an attitude

FLUORIDE
WARNING
"Fluorides
are general protoplasmic poisons, probably because of their
capacity to modify the metabolism of cells by changing the
permeability of the cell membrane and by inhibiting certain
enzyme systems. The exact mechanism of such actions is obscure." Journal of the AMA (American Medical Association),
Sept. 18, 1943, Editorial.
After
almost 40 years of providing fluoride to the shire's residents northern
NSW's Ballina council is recommending that it scrap the service.
Since
1965 the council has offered fluoride in one form or another. But
new legislation now classifies fluoride as a poison.
Ballina's
manager of water and sewerage, Phil Warner, says it is time stop the
practice because the council is no longer authorised to hand out fluoride.
"The
council has been providing fluoride to the community over the counter
for many years now, but in tablet form and also in drop form," Mr Warner said.
"Basically
fluoride is now considered a poisonous substance."
